A great find for Lynch fans July 15, 2009 mooburger (San Francisco Bay Area) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A bit raw, but great for Lynch fans. First story is typical Lynch weirdness, with vague implications, and typical funny, wacky characters. The second story is surprisingly very 'normal', quite funny... and very 'Sex in the City'... in the 1990's. Can't say it was my favorite. Maybe that's because it wasn't directed by Lynch. The third and final set was a great, simple story about loss and forgiveness, depicted in typical Lynchian style. Crispin Glover and Alicia Witt deliver very simple but excellent performances. All in all, if you're a Lynch fan, Hotel Room is definitely worth seeing. If not, then you probably don't need to bother...

david lynch on cable tv February 10, 2004 moongrenadine (high point, NC) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
for those lynch completists out there( and i must be one of them), this is a must have & is extremely difficult to find. i had actually caught hotel room on HBO many a moon ago but it took me awhile to find this on vhs. god willing, one day i will own the dvd of this. trust me, you should already know whether or not you like the work of david lynch & should need little persuasiopn on my end if you do. hotel room is actualyl three vignettes which really have nothing to do with one another other than the mere fact thye all take place in the same creepy hotel. as with most lynch films, there is a strange & surreal atmosphere which crawls underneath your skin. you might pinch yourself every once in awhile just to make sure you haven't actually slipped into the world of lynchian madness. there is betrayal, murder, & madness here as you would expect to find but all stories will keep you guessing & scratching your heads as we've come to expect through classics. think blue velvet, twin peaks, or his last great masterpiece mulholland drive. if you didn't appreciate or understand those films, i seriously doubt you will have much use for or enjoy hotel room. the performances here are nearly stellar & my favorite vignette was the last one with crispin glover & the underrated actress alicia witt. the first & the second vignette(both directed by david himself) are bound to give you the chills or make you feel atleast a lil' uneasy after viewing. it's really a shame that lynch's work is not all readily available on dvd but what's sadder is the high prices we would have to pay for import copies or cheap bootlegs for alll those completists out there. contrary to most people's belief, you cna actually get eraserhead on dvd but you have to purchase it through the david lynch.com website for right now or settle for those cheap bootlegs on ebay which really suck. if hotel room never sees the light of day on dvd, perhaps HBO would bve so kind as to let us all see hotel room again sometime for those who can't find the vhs copy of this little known masterpiece. long live david lynch !!
Lynch in Obscurity December 15, 1999 rareoopdvds (San Diego, CA United States) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Originally an HBO production with three unseemingly related stories that all take place in the same Hotel Room. I would not reccomend this film to just anyone, but to die-hard David Lynch fans, they might eat this up. As much as I love Lynch's work, this one was tough to swallow. Although the stories themselves were intriguing, I cant say they went beyond that, nor did I see any connection between them. This film remains a strange one without the mystery and suspense of classic Lynch film.
It is a mystery why this movie has not been re-released. November 20, 1999 Jason Romanowski (CINCINNATI, USA) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'm not quite sure what the previous reviewer was referring to, exactly. The movie is in three scenes, the last one of which is equal in length to the first two combined. Though the first two scenes are relatively uneventful, the third scene is most certainly a masterpiece. It is a work of genius - the enormous levels of tension wrung out of so little dialogue. It's a shame that HBO does not frequently re-release their older videos.
